recommendations for a good place in Newcastle to lower the BF xr6?
also a wheel shop. I don't wanna go into a place that has a staff full of rice burner bling bling heads that can't really be bothered looking at a Ford. Had enough of this attitude in Sydney. *sorry if these are mundane questions but I've just moved back here after 10 years in the big smoke

There is a small performance shop at Kotara they supplied and fitted 4 king springs to my impreza for $450 including the wheel alignment.(monaco performance)
Flipside i took the XR8 to argie tyres at glendale with a badly worn front tyre and was told after they did a wheel alignment with the front right still on the car and worn to canvas that there was nothing wrong with it.  : Before the car was even off the wheel alignment machine I had rung another place for an alignment and spent well over 1k there on tyres. I mean who tries to do an alignment with a -----tyre on the front?

Dealt with Monaco performance at kotara for king springs years ago, not bad. Argie at glendale....stay away from, freakin useless, heard so many bad stories it aint funny. Had good dealings with tyre power over at wickham, helpful bunch of guys there, never had a problem, bought three sets of wheels there so i keep going back. could also go see bowers at merewether.

I'd give Bowers at Merewether a try, they seem really good to me mate. Bob and Tom's are also pretty good (aka tyrepower Wickham)

I asked this question because I first went to arg tyres at glendale and let's say the response was less than satisfying.
